The town of Christiana welcomes you back to the 17th annual Tour de Christiana on August 10 2008.
In the 16 years since Dave Felpel and I first promoted the Tour de Christiana, the race has grown into a regional favorite because of its demanding terrain and enthusiastic local spectators. I’m very happy to announce that the tradition will continue in 2008 in the form of the historically tough Sunday criterium. It is true that financial problems threatened the existence of the race this year. Given this challenge the local business community responded strongly to save this event as an independent race. Now after a very long absence, the original founders of the Tour de Christiana have returned to manage the event. I especially want to thank Rich Rouff for his work in helping to nurture this event over the years.
